Drought Turgid is a country music legend, in that few people have ever seen him. He's been performing for years all around world, and now despite popular demand he's here, performing for you. Live from his home-away-from-home, The Bugalong Commercial Club, 'See The Big Man Cry' is Drought's salute to that unsung hero of country music, Drought. Together with his band, The Turgid Boys, he'll root (and toot) you all night long!
